The brain of humans and other animals is known to contribute to the protection of the body from infections. Past studies have unveiled the existence of the so-called conditioned immune response (CIR), ...

Here, we found that in dopamine receptor D3 (DRD3)-Cre mice [36], previously reported to express Cre in the LIPN cells, the Cre-expressing somata mainly reside in the lateral subregion of the LIPN ...

Stroke and spinal cord injuries can severely impair motor functions, and understanding how to promote recovery is a critical challenge. While damaged neurons in the brain and spinal cord have limited ...

Epithelium-to-mesenchyme transition (EMT) refers to the cellular program by which, through diverse scenarios, epithelial cells lose their compact, ordered organization to become individual, migrating ...

In the split second that is needed to view a stop sign and react to it, our brain navigates a complex process that transitions seamlessly from perception to action control. This ability to halt or ...

Scientists tracking blind Mexican cavefish uncover a striking evolutionary reversal where existing brain circuits are rewired via dopamine to flip behavioral responses to light.

Stroke and spinal cord injuries can severely impair motor functions, and understanding how to promote recovery is a critical challenge. While damaged neurons in the brain and spinal cord have limited ...

Neural circuits associated with three cortical regions in cognitive generalization with different manifestations from different species. (A) Emotionrelated brain regions mainly project to PFC and OFC; ...

For the first time, scientists have generated a functional neural pathway for sensing pain in a dish. This could help unravel mechanisms of pain disorders. “This is important groundbreaking work,” ...

New research in Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging identifies a novel neural pathway to treat alcohol use disorder. This figure shows areas in which tolcapone, relative to ...
